HIS ABILITY AND SUCCESS IN THE sENATR-HOw Ha
HAS EARNED THE RIGHT TO REFLECTION.
Charles Emory Smith. the Editor Of The Philadelphia
Press and before that the Editor OF The Albany Eveng
Journal, has printed In The Press New-York letter
strongly supporting the claims of Warner Miller for TO
election to the United States Senate He speaks warmly
OF both Morton and HiscOck. but says:
Mr. Miller ne has signaIly successful in the Sem
ness questions now at the 'front.' he has given NewYo
voice well vote; be has the OF Republicans
opposes Miller because Miller IS for Blaine~Ee
represents the union of the old stalwart and
the old HafBreed forces in the efficient OF party
organizations he has been steadily In line with the party
and public sentiment Of the State-and how Is the logic
of such to be answered. What reason DO
given. what justification offered. for throwing him
boardf He has served one term In the Senate In tbs
most satisfactory all admit and it Is the long
established party usage and political practice that when
representative has served one term acceptaby be shall
be chosen for another unless there are commanding
against 1t and in this case all the commanding
are for It, Beyond this, the political conditions
and interests OF the present and the future urge his
turn, and this Is why say the logic OF politics requires
his reelection. Ask man no matter how strongly
attached TO another candidate. why Miller should
be beaten: and hi, response !, not logic , but
him because think him Co."
